R&D

a review by gil gershman of
release format R&D by Disinformation (CD Album)

text

Joe Banks plumbs the wavebands anew for further proof of musical substance on the crudest ionic and magnetic levels. The live recordings presented on R&D2 are predominantly drawn from a more exclusive radio-frequency palette than the natural statics and sferics of R&D. Banks' distillation of his sound dis|information allows for cleaner and far more focused treatments, and R&D2 becomes as much a refinement of R&D as it is that document's sequel. The inherent listenability of these high/low-frequency sine, sawtooth and square radiowaves is more apparent than ever in such creatively mounted infrasonic findings as Live at the Museum of Installation, an expansion and filtration of the earlier National Grid's modified pulsations.
